A Significant vote.—At the meeting of the Brooklyn Association, Sunday, Feb. 17, one of the speakers, after alluding to demonstration in daily life of the formula,—There is no Life, Substance, or Intelligence in matter,—as the test of fidelity and growth in Science, said that it is fundamental in Science that the life of personal sense is an illusion; Science And Health is the chart that marks the way out of it, and into the life of spiritual sense; this, if true, is as distinctly a revelation from God as are the teachings of Jesus; if not true, Science and Scientists are not and have no reason for being; that to command the attention of mankind, and speak with authority to material sense, Scientists must recognize and maintain the divine character and claims of Science, putting its text-book as the inseparable companion of, and key to, the Scriptures.
At the conclusion of these remarks, the speaker said, "I want now to ask as many as agree to these views to raise the right hand." Every hand came up in endorsement of this position, and several of those present exclaimed, "That is what we have been wanting to hear."
In the evening of the same day, the person referred to above met a Scientist who is considered a "come-outer," and three of his students, and proposed a vote on the same question; it was again unanimous in the affirmative.
